  If laws don’t apply for the rich, get fucked, they don’t apply for me either. Fuck your system.

    Aye, simple as that.

  Samesies! My partner isn’t vegan, so whenever I’m buying food for him, I just so happen to pull it a bit too quick over the self-checkout scanner so I guess it doesn’t scan, oops 🥺

    at the wm here, if you even look at the scanner cross-eyed, it sounds the alarms and halts the register until the babysitter can come over, review the footage and unlock it. if anything passes anywhere in the cameras’ very wide fov and a scan isn’t registered… anything… it stops.

    they got sam’s club-like checkers at the exits, now, too. anything not in a bag gets ‘checked’… at least that’s what we’ve concluded is their criteria, based on when we have been stopped trying to leave.

    me thinks they’ve had a slight uptick in ‘customer-applied discounts’ lately.

    They beep so fucking loud here, this would not fly well with a cashier (or can) that watches well 😁

    But we came up with different ways to do it over time. And yes, self checkout mostly, but we also do it at register if we have to. The most brazen one was a whole fucking door we drove by the cashier while my wife distracted him with questions and her charme 😁

    We should not be proud of that, but we are. We probably wouldn’t even have noticed the price hikes. But I absolutely despise that they force you to pay more for things you can’t boycott. I can just not buy a car, but I can’t not buy food to protest. Fucking greed.

      Bluetooth speaker in your pocket and a beep sound on your partner’s phone.

        might work, but that’s a bit of overkill. I prefer sleigh-of-hand or simply not scanning many things. People are already overworked and understaffed, noone’s gonna check anyway. The cameras are just scare-tactics too.

    in the UK they weigh the baggage area and if you don’t scan something it’ll should “UNEXPECTED ITEM I THE BAGGAGE AREA” and you get publicly shamed by all the whiter than white old people.

      Interesting. Where are the weighs? Do you HAVE to out your bag on a special place?

      I wonder we don’t have that yet too. But then again, overworked and understaffed. Noone cares if anything beeps or not. Even if the door-alarms go off, nothing happens. In no store, ever. It’s just that the vast majority of Germans are so obedient, they instantly stop, go to the next employee and explain themselves.

        Certain grocery chains in Canada employ these types of self checkout scanners. Every item is weighed, your bags need to be on the scale from the start and there’s a camera over each checkout.

  Your local Kroger isn’t robbing you. Neither are their suppliers in general, but even so you are not punishing them by shoplifting. The store already paid the producer for it regardless of whether the item is sold or stolen, meaning they don’t care either way.

  If you want to steal, that’s your prerogative, but don’t pretend that you’re morally justified to take out your frustrations on someone unrelated.

    Whatever a “Kroger” might be, but luckily the world has morally intact people like you! And I’m not frustrated, it’s not about the money, it’s the principle. Someone in the chain did raise prices for items I can’t boycott, I don’t care who. Also I don’t need justification. To whom should I justity? to you? lol.

      Kroger is a grocery chain in the US that is attempting to monopolize grocery stores.

      It is always moral and just to steal from Kroger.

        Monopolize? Great. Should I ever visit the US (no I would not), I’d go there and steal a lot :)

  Are you Uncle Leo?
  On a tangent, I just found out that Len Lesser was not only quite handsome in his younger years, he was also an extra in one of my favorite movies, the original “Papillon.”

    I have no idea who uncle Leo is 😞

      Jerry’s uncle. He stole stuff then if caught would say he was old and confused. Kinda like Trump.

        Ok but who is Jerry
